On 29 June 2020, Bannon, the former chief strategist of the White House, and Chinese rich businessman Guo Wengui said in the War Room of the political commentary program, The Epoch Times, NTD TV stations and Falun Gong practitioners insisted on exposing the CCP and reporting the truth, but they were attacked by some mainstream Western media that accepted the CCP’s heavy Communist ideology. Those media did not blame the CCP when SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) raged the world. The American people should be awakened.
The Chinese Communist Party's heavy influence on Western media disturbs the audience
Bannon first stated that after the factual evidence about the CCP virus was disclosed by the media created by Falun Gong practitioners and Guo Media, some mainstream Western media did not blame the CCP, which was one of the reasons that caused the CCP virus to spread globally.
He said, "What Americans don't understand is why when Gnews, Gtv, Epoch Times and NTDTV exposed a lot of evidence about the CCP virus, the media in the US and Europe did not ask the CCP?"
Guo Wengui pointed out that the CCP has invested heavily in Western media and has turned the media into a tool for the CCP to conceal its evil behavior. He said, "Behind all these media platforms, there is a lot of money from the CCP. The CCP's usual practice is to muddle the water. It does not want people to understand the truth, so it has to muddle the Western media first."
A registration document released by the US Department of Justice on June 10 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party, through its overseas English mouthpiece "China Daily", paid to the United States from November 2016 to April 2020 in the form of paying advertising and printing fees. Ten mainstream media and social media invested a total of 19 million US dollars. Among them, "Washington Post" and "Wall Street Journal" are the CCP's key investment targets, "China Daily" advertising costs for these two media are 4.6 million and 6 million US dollars.
The Ministry of Justice document also records that the New York Times and Foreign Policy received US$50,000 and US$240,000 respectively. The "Foreign Policy" issued to mainstream US political and business readers belongs to the "Washington Post" media group and was later renamed Graham Holdings Company. The controlling shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of Graham Holdings is the husband of Donald Amanda’s husband. Graham (Donald. Graham), Graham's main income is dependent on its Kaplan education company, the company in China and CITIC Group subsidiaries and other companies joint venture cooperation.
The CCP paid for these advertisements by inserting the supplement "China Watch" issued by "China Daily" into the above-mentioned newspapers in the form of an interleaved page, in this way instilling the CCP's ideology and "positive publicity" to American readers ".
In February this year, the U.S. State Department designated the five Chinese Communist Party official media Xinhua News Agency, China Global TV Network, China Radio International, China Daily and People’s Daily as "foreign missions" overseas. Foreign embassies likewise register information such as employees and property in the United States with the State Council.
The Ministry of Justice's public registration documents also disclosed that the "China Daily" paid as much as $7 million to print newspapers issued in several major US states. These newspapers include the Los Angeles Times, the Seattle Times, the Atlanta Constitution, the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle, and the Bolton Globe. The print service fees paid to the Los Angeles Times exceed 650,000 US dollars.
Falun Gong practitioners tell the truth and scare the CCP
Bannon said that the Western media turned a blind eye to the CCP’s crimes and instead attacked media such as Epoch Times, NTDTV and Gtv and Gnews who told the truth, and now Westerners need to realize that the media they watch speak for the CCP. He said, "Now is the time. The American people should be awakened. The European people should be awakened. The British people should be awakened. Their media has become a helper for China's outreach."
Guo Wengui believes that Western media slander Falun Gong practitioners because they are the only ones who dare to tell the truth. He said, "They are the only ones who are trying to tell the truth to the Western world, but the Western media, they are afraid of Falun Gong, and they want to defame Falun Gong because the media of Falun Gong practitioners tell the truth, which is why they are afraid."
A special issue published in the English version of The Epoch Times in April this year specifically reported that the CCP had covered up the outbreak of the CCP virus (New Crown Virus), resulting in the pandemic of the virus worldwide. The special issue includes a timetable showing how the Chinese Communist government conceals information about the epidemic and suppresses informants of the epidemic. It also covers the dissemination of false information by the Chinese Communist regime.
Shortly after the special issue was published in Canada, the National Radio Canada (CBC) accused the special issue of The Epoch Times by publishing articles and YouTube video programs, which caused some Canadians to feel disgusted, thinking that it was "racism" and "incite hatred." CBC has changed the title of the article four times, but its so-called Canadian feedback is based on interviews with individuals.
However, CBC's articles have aroused the resentment of its own readers. In the more than 3,000 comments after the article that attacked the Epoch Times, most of them opposed CBC's reports.
Current event commentator Sheng Xue said that she was convinced that CBC's behavior this time was not the accidental behavior of some journalists or editors, "it was someone's decision after careful thinking."
Only Epoch stands firm on the front line facing life and death
Guo Wengui said in a conversation with Bannon that Hong Kong people were a little bit excited when he said that the Hong Kong people sent back the Chinese movement last year. He said loudly that the Epoch Times reporters in Hong Kong faced threats of life and death during the anti-transmission campaign. They insisted on reporting for 24 hours, and because the "Era Times" dared to report the truth, the CCP was afraid.
He said, "Look at the Hong Kong Anti-Send China Movement, only the Falun Gong practitioners reported the truth and reported it 24 hours a day. Although they face the threat of death every minute on the streets of Hong Kong, they continue to communicate with the students in Hong Kong. The children are fighting together."
He went on to say that the Epoch Times of Hong Kong has timely and objectively spread what is happening in Hong Kong to the world. He said, "They didn't talk about religion, they didn't talk about politics, they just reported the truth and broadcast everything that happened in Hong Kong."

Guo Wengui then went through the dangerous moments of several major global media in Hong Kong but disappeared. He said, "Where does the New York Times go? Where does the Financial Times go, Where does the BBC go, and where does CNN go? Only the reporters of The Epoch Times were there, and even we broke the news that the revolution could not do that kind of report because it was too dangerous."
During the six-month anti-send protest movement, frontline reporters from Hong Kong Epoch Times and NTDTV were repeatedly hit by police tear gas and pepper spray. On the evening of June 12 this year, the Epoch Times reporter was suddenly attacked by a white man with a knife in a Kwun Tong report on the first anniversary of the "6.12" anti-delivery campaign, and was rescued by a brave citizen at the scene , Resulting in the citizen's hand being cut and sent to hospital for treatment.
In the early morning of 19 November 2019, the printing plant that printed the Hong Kong Epoch Times was set on fire by the Chinese Communist Party, causing some printing equipment and newspapers of the day to be seriously damaged. The camera at the scene completely recorded the four murderers dressed in black and holding police telescopic sticks. They threatened the workers at the scene for a short period of time while spitting the prepared gasoline in the factory and ignited it. After burning, the four quickly escaped.
Since the founding of Hong Kong Epoch Times in 2000, the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly hired murderers to destroy printing plants and printing equipment that print The Epoch Times. The arson of the hiring attracted the attention of the US Congress and prompted the US Senate to quickly pass the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Bill" which was then stuck.
On 10 June 2020, the "Global Religious Freedom Report 2019" released by the U.S. State Department specifically listed this case of the Chinese Communist Party’s arson. The report said: "The Hong Kong version of the printing house of the Epoch Times, a media founded by Falun Gong practitioners, Four masked men armed with similar batons were set on fire."
Guo Wengui: No one is allowed to blame Falun Gong again
Guo Wengui mentioned in the program that someone once asked him if he provided funds to Falun Gong. He blamed the other party for blaming Falun Gong practitioners, instead of paying attention to those who did not report that the CCP had concealed the truth of the virus.
He said, "Why do you blame Falun Gong in this way, why don't you ask the CCP how much the New York Times gave, how much it gave CNN, and how much it gave the Wall Street Journal? Why don't they talk about the truth about Hong Kong? Ask where the CCP virus came from and why China did not allow the world to investigate."
The War Room program of the day introduced the latest feature film "The Cover of the Century" produced by Epoch Media Group's column "World Care", which systematically exposed the CCP's entire process of concealing the virus. Producer Xiao Ming introduced in an interview in the War Room that "The Cover of the Century" has been watched more than 500,000 times in 10 hours.
Guo Wengui said loudly at the end of the show, "No one is allowed to blame Xiao Ming's program, and no one is allowed to blame Falun Gong again."
